get_child_position


Description:

public virtual signal bool get_child_position (Widget widget, out Rectangle allocation)

The get_child_position signal is emitted to determine the position and size of any overlay child widgets.

A handler for this signal should fill allocation with the desired position and size for widget, relative to the 'main' child of overlay.

The default handler for this signal uses the widget's halign and valign properties to determine the position and gives the widget its natural size (except that an alignment of gtk_align_fill will cause the overlay to be full-width/height). If the main child is a ScrolledWindow, the overlays are placed relative to its contents.

Parameters:

widget

the child widget to position

allocation

return location for the allocation

Returns:

true if the allocation has been filled
